Miele spent the summer with a personal trainer and feels that he’s coming into camp in perhaps the best shape ever. That’s not lost Coyotes’ management.

“It’s been my second summer training with Mike Hackett,” said Miele. “We’ve got a really relationship so I’m coming (into camp) in really good shape. I feel really good on the ice.”

“Andy is really determined kid to begin with,” said Edwards, “and he had a really good summer. You’ll never question his work ethic, his heart or his will. He’s doing everything that he needs to do to prepare himself.”

He has apparently been offered to play for HV 71 of the SHL (Swedish Hockey League).

"He´s skilled and interesting W´ell see what happens, but first and foremost he´d like to wait for a NHL contract". Club "GM" Fredrik Stillman.

Seems a bit premature to give up his dream to play in the NHL if you ask me. Especially since he´s only played for 1 organisation. But then again, smaller players of his caliber usually thrive in Europe. So if he doesn't get his breakthrough soon, he might try his luck across the pond.

If anything, he'll definitely get his shot (depending on who else we sign). My main concern is who he'd play with. Currently, he would be between Chip and Biz (I believe), which may not be the best place for him (to score, that is). In looking at the lines, it might be interesting to see a Miele-Hanzal-Moss line or even a Korpi-Miele-Moss line. Perhaps even a Miele-Ribeiro-Boedker PP line might be worth a try (if they don't get pushed around too much).
